Thai Dam break worsens Malaysia's floods: report*

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 17 (AFP) Dec 17, 2007

Floods in Malaysia's north-eastern Kelantan state worsened after a dam
burst in southern Thailand as the nationwide death toll rose to 23,
reports said Monday.

Deputy prime minister Najib Razak said water levels at the Golok river,
which marks the boundary between Malaysia and Thailand, rose above the
danger level of nine metres (29.53 feet) to 10.51 metres.

"I was told the broken dam has caused a higher volume of water to enter
Golok river and move towards Rantau Panjang and other adjacent areas,"
Najib was quoted saying on The Star newspaper's website.

The official Bernama news agency reported that among the latest victims
was a six-year-old girl who fell into flood waters while playing in the
backyard of her family home in Kelantan.

It reported the number of flood evacuees in Kelantan rose sharply to
6,039 on Monday from 3,772 the previous day, while in central Pahang
state 21,699 were being housed in relief centres.

But in southern Johor state flood conditions improved steadily, with
3,500 people remaining in relief centres after the weekend, compared
with almost 5,000 last week.
